Our dry streak finally came to an end Sunday night with much-needed rain all across the region. Most areas picked up between 0.25 and 0.5 inches of rain. 

While it's not enough to erase the drought, it's a good start. That said, we don't have much more in the way of rain in the extended forecast.

A secondary cold front will come through dry tonight and will usher in much cooler temperatures for the midweek stretch. After 70 degrees for Veterans Day, our daytime highs will only reach the low to mid-50s with overnight lows in the 30s. we can't complain too loudly though because those cool temperatures are where we should be at this time of year.
